Yesil posted this image of Dan Bilzerian’s ‘Vegas kit’ on his Instagram page. The image has now been withdrawn

What could possibly have been on Liverpool striker Samed Yesil’s mind when he shared this infamous photo ahead of his impending Anfield exit?

The 20-year-old looks to be heading to Turkish side Trabzonspor on loan, after injuries held up his chances of progress at the Reds, and has used his Instagram account to share a bizarre picture of luggage containing a kitten, large amounts of dollar bills and a hand gun.

The picture, which was originally posted by poker playboy Dan Bilzerian, was accompanied with a message ‘!stanbu’.

German-born Yesil made just one appearance for Bayer Leverkusen before Liverpool snapped him up two years ago, but knee problems have restricted his impact so far.

He qualifies for Turkey through his parents so should not have any problems being registered with Trabzonspor, which he had previously indicated would be his club of choice should he ever play there.
